Pugly has managed to catch Kennel Cough again even though he’s been vaccinated. He was up all night the last two nights coughing and yesterday morning, he vomited. So instead of daycare, I took him to the vet. The vet put him on home rest and quarantine. No daycare and no visiting the neighborhood dogs.
However, he doesn’t seem to have lost his energy. He’s been chasing his tail and looking for birds and neighbors to bark at. Nor has he lost his appetite. He’s been on carpet patrol

I had a bit of a scare this morning. Pugly and I headed off to the garage to load up the Jeep and drive off to daycare and work when the most upsetting weirdness occurred.
At first I thought Pugly was just being his playful self and was going to make me chase him when he wouldn’t get in the car, but soon it was quite evident that Pugly wasn’t being playful at all. There was no wag of the tail, no silly, bounciness

As you can see, Pugly is trying to eat that tree. He’s such a nature-loving, quirky, silly little dog.

Yesterday was the first sunny Saturday of Spring after a month of false starts and Spring snow snowstorms and Nor’Easters. And while I admit that I understand that Winter came late and wanted to stick around awhile, my Seasonal Affective Disorder was really tired of it all, despite the lovely photographs I managed to take.
So, with Spring literally in the air, while my new neighbors were blowing the remnants of last Fall’s leaves into my yard, Pugly and I hopped in the Jeep and headed down to Portland to the Eastern Prom where everyone and their dog was out and about enjoying the day. Pugly and I took end the sights of the Eastern Prom Trail near East End Bench including The Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad. Pugly saw the beach for the first time and got slapped in the face by a wave for the first time, much to his surprise. 
All in all, a great day.

Well, it appears that I’ve got signs of at least one unwanted house critter — though you know if there’s one, there’s more.
The clues:
- Some thing’s definitely been imbibing in the bird seed I’ve got stored in the basement and it’s not the birdies I bought it for, which makes me very grumpy.
- Needy and Pugly have both been interested in some thing beneath the stove.
- Pugly has been barking at the wall between the kitchen and the living room for no apparent reason. (There goes my theory that he’s gone insane.)
- Two nights ago, Needy was very interested in the skittering of

Pugly hates riding in the car. I haven’t figured out why. He generally likes wherever we go — doggy daycare, Planet Dog, visiting folks. However, he hates the ride. He generally sits with his little head pressed against the seat, either with his eyes closed or staring at me with those puppy-dog “are we there yet” eyes.
Sometimes I think he’s just motion sick. He’s thrown up a couple of times.
But then other times I think he’s just afraid of my

Seriously.
There are at least seven items missing from my house after the move. I shall describe them for you.
- 2 floating shelves, walnut in color, bought originally at WAL-Mart, still in their original packaging with hardware, never opened.
- 2 curtain rods, black with decorative crystal balls on the ends, originally bought at the Christmas Tree Shoppe, still in their original packaging with hardware, never opened.
- 2 Large U-shaped floating shelves, walnut in color, bought originally at Target, didn’t come in any kind of packaging or with hardware.
- 1 decorative Christmas card holder, silver, shaped like a Christmas tree, originally bought at WAL-Mart, still in

O.K. So Pugly had this toy duck. You couldn’t touch the thing without it making a distinctive “quack quack quack quack” sound. And no, that didn’t bother me.
What bothered me was that we went through two of them in fairly short order, such was his love of this plush toy duck.
First, the wings would be viciously pulled off. Then then neck would be ripped open. Then there would be stuffing everywhere. Then Pugly would eat the stuffing. Generally, the duck seemed to meet its end when my parents were around, by the way. I guess they just encourage him to

Those of us in the Little Red House woke up this morning to discover that a blanket of snow had covered our yard overnight. (Pictures to follow tonight when I get home.) How we discovered it is that I woke up to take little Pugly out for his morning pee-pee, put my Crocs and coat on and led him on the leash to the backdoor, which when opened revealed a great white cold from the back steps to the pine trees.
I blinked.
Pugly blinked and took a few tentative steps onto the snow covered stoop.
You must recall that little Pugly was

- I cannot seem to keep my eyes open today. I’m doing that head bob thing.
I’ve got to buy a bathing suit by next Tuesday when I start Water Physical Therapy. Apparently, it’s required.- Do I have $1.20 in pennies to get me through 2 more trips through the I-95 toll?
- When will my new toll tag come?
- Those people behind me at the exact change toll were pissed this morning.
- I couldn’t find my mittens this morning when I went

I’ve always maintained that I’m not the motherly type.
Having cats were kind of perfect that way. I mean, they need care but they aren’t like children really. They’re kind of independent.
Since Pugly came in my life though, I’ve discovered myself doing little motherly things.
You know, taking him to “play groups.”
Wiping the eye boogers out of his eyes.
Wiping his nose.
Wiping his face when he’s eaten something and he’s gotten it all over.
Carrying him over puddles.
Taking him to doggy daycare — heck, worrying he won’t get in.
And the latest?
Last night when I

I know it’s been a while. I kind of get around to posting things when I feel like it these days. I meant to post right away about my experience flying out of the Portland Jetport in Maine but I didn’t have access to a computer while on my trip and when I got back, I had company and then one thing led to another and then I just never got around to it.
So, today I’m getting around to it. So there.
I kind of felt it was important to report my observations since at the time of my flight in

What if the sale on the little red house doesn’t fall through and I do get it and it turns into a money pit?- What if those nice flippers are taking advantage of me because I’m a naive first time buyer and I don’t know what I’m doing?
- What if my dog is depressed? He’s been lethargic and hasn’t been eating at home, but the doggie daycare folks say he’s hyper and playful there. Maybe he just hates me.
